What is a tower?
In many tensorflow tutorials (example) "towers" are mentioned without a definition. What is meant by that?
Topic tensorflow terminology deep-learning
Category Data Science
I found the following definition from ML glossary here intuitive:
Tower - A component of a deep neural network that is itself a deep neural network without an output layer.
According to tensorflow documentation about CNN,
The first abstraction we require is a function for computing inference and gradients for a single model replica. In the code we term this abstraction a "tower".
